Lupita Nyong’o is back on the red carpet after being away for the past year during the pandemic.

The Oscar-winning actress stepped out to attend the premiere of the movie Queen of Glory during the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival on Tuesday (June 15) at Pier 76 in New York City.

Queen of Glory is the feature-film directorial debut of Nana Mensah, who also wrote and stars in the movie.

Here is the synopsis: “Brainy scientist Sarah, a doctoral student at Columbia University, is weeks away from following her very married boyfriend to Ohio when her mother dies suddenly, leaving Sarah the owner of a small but beloved Christian bookstore in the Bronx. Tasked with planning a culturally respectful funeral befitting the family matriarch, Sarah must juggle the expectations of her loving yet demanding family while navigating the reappearance of her estranged father all while grappling with what to do with the bookstore. Aided by an only-in-New York ensemble of Eastern European neighbors, feisty African aunties and a no-nonsense ex-con co-worker, Sarah faces her new responsibilities while figuring out how to remain true to herself.”

A new project for Lupita was announced a few months ago!

Robert De Niro is making an exciting announcement about the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival!

The 77-year-old actor and the event’s co-founder Jane Rosenthal announced on Monday (March 29) that the festival would be returning this summer with live, in-person screenings.

According to EW, the 12-day festival will act as a “welcome back” for New Yorkers and the entertainment community and is being planned in collaboration with the New York State Department of Health.

While the lineup hasn’t been revealed yet, this year’s Tribeca is set to feature diverse programming and immersive exhibitions in addition to film-focused events. It will also include a commemoration of the Juneteenth holiday as part of the festival.

Robert said in a statement, “The Tribeca Film Festival was born out of our mission to bring people together in the aftermath of 9/11. We’re still doing it.”

“And as New York emerges from the shadow of COVID-19, it seems just right to bring people together again in-person for our 20th anniversary festival.”

A famous rapper recently discussed what it was like working with Robert on their new movie.

The dates have been announced for the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival!

The event is happening later than usual next year due to the coronavirus pandemic and the big switch in the awards season calendar.

The New York-based film festival usually happens every year in mid-April, but the 2021 event will be held from June 9-20.

The Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, was “established in the aftermath of 9/11 in an effort to bring people together through the arts and send a signal of resiliency to the world. Tribeca looks forward to bringing the community together once again to celebrate emerging and established voices; discover award-winning filmmakers and creators; and enjoy innovative experiences.”

To accommodate creators affected by the pandemic, the submission period is extended by three weeks, the late deadline is pushed to January, and the eligibility rules are adjusted to include films that have previously screened at online festivals.

The 2020 festival was initially postponed and then canceled completely.
